Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a supporting unit that rotatably supports a roll sheet formed by winding a continuous sheet into a roll shape, a conveying path forming member that is placed in a position spaced apart from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit, and forms a conveying path of the sheet, and a displacing unit that includes a guide portion capable of being displaced between a guide position and a retracting position set farther from a start position than the guide position. The guide portion is displaced from the retracting position to the guide position when a leading edge of the sheet separated from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit is positioned between the guide portion in the retracting position and the start position.

A sheet feeding apparatus comprising:
- a supporting unit configured to rotatably support a roll sheet formed by winding a continuous sheet into a roll shape;
- a conveying path through which a part of the sheet separated from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit passes;
- and
- a displacing unit including a guide portion capable of being displaced between a guide position on the side of a start position of the conveying path, and a retracting position set farther from the start position than the guide position,
- wherein the guide portion includes a contact portion that comes in contact with an outer circumference of a cylindrical portion of the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit.
